Nice sounding cummins. We have a 89 t600 with 444 cummins. got a lot of power

[bigredi444]

@alex189100 yeah gotta love the sound of the old school mechanical cummins. You can tell they mean business. 444 was an excellent motor!

[alex189100]

@bigredi444 I read he are doing 70 with 6.14 rears. ours have 3.70 & a 15 spd. My bro says it do over 100mph but its confortable cuz its airride. Also its turned up to 500. It hauls 55 tons of cement daily now. You got a nice rig

[bigredi444]

@alex189100 yeah all about gearing at gettin the speed to the road. Thats impressive and ya thanks its a work in progress but the truck has certainly come a long way since Ive owned it.

[motoCrossRider211]

love the holes in the dash

[mackdetroit4life]

You know,for some strange reason i've noticed that the smallest Cummins engines like the 250 or the 290,make the loudest exhaust notes while under jakeing power. Just sayin'..LOL!

[tjsage79]

Did the guy on the bike beat you there????

[hemimofo111]

haha nice duck, love that movie!!!

@vinnieenglish No it's not an automatic clutch. I don't use the clutch while shifting. The only time I use it is when I cam coming to a complete stop or taking off from a stop. 90% of truck drivers don't use the clutch.

[vinnieenglish]

Do these type of trucks have an automatic clutch? It didn't look like he was pushing in the clutch the change gears in the first few seconds of the video.
